Spring Break Camps
2024 Spring Break Camps (April 1-5)
Applications for 2024 Spring Break Camp now available!
Mountaintop's SEED (1-6 grade) and Sprout (age 3-kindergarten) camps are offered during Charlottesville and Albemarle County Public Schools' spring break each year.
Children spend their time sowing seeds in the garden, harvesting greenhouse and early-producing crops, and exploring Mountaintop's beautiful campus as it buds and blossoms for another growing year. Spring is a great time to be here working in the garden and greenhouse and we love to share this peak time for planting with friends from all over the area.
